Find and redact names, SSNs, emails, general PII and more, before you share a document you shouldn't. Runs entirely on your Mac. Nothing leaves your device. FileSentinel scans your PDFs, Word documents, and images for sensitive personal information — names, Social Security numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth — and lets you redact it permanently before you share, archive, or hand off a file. Whether you're a healthcare worker handling patient records, a lawyer reviewing contracts, or just someone cleaning up old files before selling a Mac, FileSentinel catches what you'd otherwise miss. WHAT IT DOES • Scans PDFs, DOCX, images, and scanned documents for dozens of PII patterns • OCR-reads image-based PDFs and photos — catches text baked into scanned pages • Redacts found PII by painting permanent black boxes over the exact text • Watches folders automatically — new files are scanned as they arrive • Generates a report of every finding so you stay in control PRIVACY FIRST All scanning and redaction happens entirely on your Mac using Apple's own Vision framework. No account required. No cloud upload. Your documents never leave your device. DESIGNED FOR THE MAC APP STORE Runs in the full macOS sandbox. Supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
